For who may be interested, I finally got my wiring harness connected.
Some background first, my ST truck was power nuthin. I hate manuel mirrors...
Every time you flip them up or down it's a circus to get them right again.
So when I found some good used 4th gen type mirrors, it was game on.
Power mirrors or bust!
I bought (ebay) the door harness(s) for all 4 doors & the body harness that connects all these wires. I laid my body harness on my floor vinyl (1 sweet thing about a ST trim truck!) Connected all the plugs but nothing. Spent some time tracing the hot wires till noticed my ground wires dangling... well, I my as well see if the makes a difference. Game on! She's alive!
Now just to tear up the vinyl and get the factory harness out & the "new" 1 in.

I'll plan to buy window regulators
& power door latches sometime. Feels so good to know this lil plan of my actually worked!

Spent HRS searching the web so I hope this can help someone.
 
Spent about 700 bucks so far for front door panels with room for switches (rears should be ok) master switch & front passenger side switch.
Back doors will wait. Also 2x wiring harnesses.
Just got done removing the ST harness, cleanup & some light rust treating. Then reassemble.
Found a buck in change & a ring
Mebbe it-all pay for these mods!

Well, now that I have the power window regulators in the front doors (for now this is cool with me) I discovered that the power supply wires are missing in the "under dash" harness.
I'm NOT tackling that job (replacing harness) so I figured out which wire needs to have key on power. I'll supply this with my own fused supply & also run a wire to the passenger side.
Not as neat as the mirror wiring but It will do!
Now I can lower the passenger side window when I romp the throttle going through an underpass.
 
Thought I would tag 2 members on here that helped me in my quest.

bjgillisva sold me 4th gen type mirrors (they have been laying around for a few yrs!)
& timd32 shared some wiring schematics with me that helped to figure it all out! Thanks guys
